The recent days at Devon were stressful, even for Xenos.
He mostly spent his time with Tabitha, listening to his absurd plans and that "he's only using Devon".
Tabitha has been a thorn in Devon's side for long. Tabitha was one of the lead scientists at the Corporation and one day he has been stopping his work, putting his attention "elsewhere".
Xenos was suspicious, yet intrigued by his doing.
He has been secretly stealing information from Devon for weeks. I don't care what he's stealing but whom is he bringing the research data?
"Tell me, Tabitha." Xenos tried hard as always trying to get his attention. Tabitha seemed always like he was somewhere else. Always thinking. Planning. "Who are you really working for?"
"Hyuhn? What nonsense are you talking about!"
Tabitha was always defensive when it was about his illegal actions at Devon.
"I talk about the missing research data. Every time data goes missing, the work is thrown back for weeks. At this rate the new project we are working on will never be finished. Tell me the truth or someone will give Mr. Stone a hint or two about the recent incidents at his company."
"Hyahya!? You are persistent but smart and you are always ahead the others. Hyahyaha, we could have use for you. I suppose I can show you what I am doing with the data. Meet me at the Petalburg Forest at night and you will learn something."
Xenos never trusted Tabitha completely but if the people which Tabitha was really working for are actually as "genius" as he describes them it could get him forward.
"Don't be late. Hyahya!"
The forest at night was unnerving. Pokemon of all kind were more active than ever, constantly creating noises which would break the silence of the night.
This night however the silence would be broken by something else.
Xenos searched in the whole forest for Tabitha and his accomplices.
"Hyahaha! Are you searching for us?"
As Xenos turned around he saw Tabitha in an unusual uniform with two men behind him, wearing something in the same color.
"This is a great opportunity and you should feel yourself honored! I, Tabitha, right hand of our great leader have chosen you to be allowed to support us in our plan to enhance humanity! Do you accept this offer?"
This is the only way.
"I accept"
"Hyahyahahaha! Welcome to Team Magma!"
